Adagio (from Italian ad agio, 'at ease'). A musical term indicating the tempo of a composition that is meant to be slow and stately. So named in honor of the extraordinary depth, elegance and grace of this wine.
Balance is the focus of this wine. The fruit, oak, tannins and alcohol all come together delightfully. An initial hint of black cherries progresses into more mature dark fruits such as figs and dates. Mixed in with the fruit is a lovely note of fresh cocoa, along with a bit of soy and eucalyptus. Earthiness and minerality blend agreeably with the fruit. The tannins are firm but approachable and contribute to a wine that will age gracefully over many years.
